On Thursday, Laura Loomer—the far-right activist formerly of Project Veritas—was escorted out of the Florida courthouse where Noor Salman, the Pulse nightclub shooter’s wife, is awaiting a jury verdict, according to the Huffington Post. Loomer reportedly had her credentials revoked the day before, after she confronted Salman’s relatives, questioning whether Muslims “color Easter eggs” when a family spokesperson said Salman would celebrate Easter with her family if released. Loomer reportedly “stuck her phone in their faces” when questioning them. According to an email from the court, an unnamed member of the media was banned from the courthouse due to engaging “in highly inappropriate behavior with the Defendant’s family members outside the courthouse.” Loomer tweeted that a court order had been issued banning her from the courthouse for the duration of the trial.
